The May, 2011 revision incorporates additional information that should be useful in teaching about energy, cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

I am preparing a revised version of this overview article, which I believe will be more informative and helpful than the current version. Unfortunately, this new version may not be completely finished and ready to be posted for several weeks. In the meantime, if you would like to see the current draft of this revised version, please send an e-mail to iwaldron@sas.upenn.edu and I will send it to you.
